Loved the show this past week. I really liked the discussion of concepts in training (rants). Keep up the good work, the show gets better and better each week.

I have one question, what corrective exercises or “fillers” is Tony referring to? What do you do as fillers and how do you utilize them during a workout?

I do a 3:1 split split by 3 nights of kickboxing – so not really a 3:1 but… When I lift I do pretty much everything explosive, love Olympic complexes and do everything with a limited rest between each exercise, 60 seconds or less.

I’d like to give the “fillers” a try, whatever they are.

And for music – Dropkick Murphy’s!

thanks,

Hi!

I’m a big fan of the fitcast!!

I started listening very early! I think it was around show number 10…

Since then I’m hooked! I heard every single one!

I’m a student just like you, besides the fact that I’m over here in Germany and studying something slightly different.

When I’m done I will be a PE-Teacher…

That and the fact that I got a gym membership since I’m 17 (now almost 27) is why I like fitcast so much. It is really entertaining and I even learn something.

I enjoy you guys taking about new studies a lot.

That’s why I would like to hear yours and Jimmy’s opinion on the following:

“Study: No Benefits To Drinking More Water?”

In Germany is it at least comparable to wherever the guy came from you talked about during one of the last few show.

I think we are (at least the most of us) far behind.

I never meet anyone in person who knew M. Boyl, John Berardi etc.

I try to get foam roller but can’t find any! (Sooner or later I got to order them from the US.)

While I’m doing something like Afterburn I will most likely get at least some wired looks.

They just don’t know what I’m doing because “everyone” is still doing those 3×12 Stuff.

Any way I go to bed now I got a test tomorrow…

Greetings from good old Germany!

I would like to incorporate speed training into my program.

Some specifics,

I want to improve my sprint time and fighting speed (kicks and punches).

1) What type of exercises do you recommend ?

2) Any books that you suggest I read?

Amicably,

Jaime Lopez

Hey Kevin,

I’m a regular listener of The Fit Cast and really enjoy the program. I’ve gotten a lot out of it, and think you guys are doing a great job of spreading the right kind of gospel.

I’m writing to suggest a possible future topic that might be of interest. Specifically, legal issues that pertain to personal trainers. I thought of this as I recently helped a fried who is a personal trainer put together a client contract. While this is a different subject matter than you normally cover on the show, it could be interesting. I have a feeling that a lot of people sort of jump into the business without appreciating some of the risks they face, and some ways they can mitigate those risks – for example, with a properly written contract.

I’m not trying to sell anything. And while I’m a lawyer, my specialty is in securities law (that’s my full time job), but I have learned a lot about about exercise and sports law while I was putting together the contract for my friend.

Some possible topics to discuss could include:

1. Overview of professional liability.

2. Why you should have a written contract with your clients.

3. Incorporating your business (or forming an LLC).

I think we could come up with some more, as well as soliciting input from your audience as well. If you think you’re interesting in something like this, give me a shout.
